The drinks were affordable and strong, which was a definite plus. However, my main issue with The Lodge is the seating situation near the stage. If you're sitting in front, be prepared for people to stand directly in front of you during the drag show. I would've preferred if the drag queens, owner, or even security had stepped in to ask them to move. It was frustrating to have 6-foot-tall, 300-pound women completely block our view--especially after paying $18 per ticket. Also, watch out for this one wild white lady in a black shirt and floral shorts who acts invisible and blocks multiple people. If you ask her politely to move, she'll argue with you and even try to escalate things by telling you to "step outside" like she's about that life. Overall, for our first drag show, we had fun--but if you're going to enjoy the performance, be ready to be annoyed because no one there is enforcing basic courtesy or crowd control. Yes this is coming from the gorgeous black queen with the pink/purple hair

Looking for great house music, cheap drinks, and a small town vibe that still has a piece of metropolitan life? Go to the Lodge.

Fair warning it is located in an area that's very dark at night so be on high alert. If coming from Hagerstown it will be on your left, if Frederick your right.

I had asked the bartender to make me a mocktail, and I have no idea what she put in it, but I think about it all the time. I also love that they were willing to create whatever mocktail I wanted. My friend had invited me to Tarbenders to try their new pizzas, and we ordered the Cup n'Char Pepperoni Pizza which was enough for two people. I loved how you could taste the hot honey in the pepperoni. I really want to come back to try the Margherita Pizza and their appetizers!! They also had a Tiki themed room which was well decorated and there was also plenty of seating both at the bar and in the dining area! I've also already told my family and friends about this lounge and hope they can stop by and try all their delicious food!!

I drive between South Carolina and New York pretty often, and the Hyatt Place in Harrisonburg has…read morebecome my regular stop. The hotel is clean, modern, and reasonably priced, but honestly, the real highlight is the Ridge Room. After a long day on the road, I really don't want to get back in the car to find dinner, so having a rooftop restaurant just steps from the room is perfect. The mountain views are great, and the farm-to-table menu is always interesting. We've eaten here several times, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently good, and the bartenders know what they're doing--the drinks are just as solid as the meals. It's one of those places where the menu might not immediately grab you, but once you try the food, it all clicks. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to.

I heard great things about this place and was very enthusiastic to visit...however, though the food…read morewas pretty solid the service was quite lacking. I have found the front staff and the wait staff to be lacking in their consideration towards restaurant guests. It seems that they are picking and choosing whom they choose to grant a great experience to. Service: The front staff and waitress we had carried an air of attitude when dealing with me and my family. It seemed like they were not keen to accommodate a few of our basic requests which essentially boiled down to laziness. To be honest, they are very petty when it comes to getting a table on their rooftop...when my family (of 5) came in, they told us it was first come first serve and sat us inside. Another family came in with 3-4 adults and 2 kids after we were seated, to which they promptly moved them outside even though they were inside as well when a spot opened up. I'm not truly understanding the mentality of service here and frankly thought for a nice establishment there would be better decorum and attitude towards guests. Food: overall pretty good. I found the food and drink to be solid. In summary, the food is good here but doesn't surpass the service we received.

Deep rich color, clean broth, and not full of salt that is common in many restaurants. As one who makes French Onion soup from scratch and has sampled French onion soup in dozens of restaurants over many years, I would place this in the top 5. The cod was really special. Unusually very large pieces that were not drenched in a ton of batter. The result was a fresh, flaky texture and taste. The portions were such that we had leftover cod the next day. The fresh cut fries were a bonus that puts the Union Jack fries far above the typical institution, pre-made version found in most restaurants.

THIS PLACE IS TOTAL TRASH! DO NOT GO! My friend Mario G was performing here on a Friday. We get…read morethere around 9pm to set up. First off, they did not have an adequate sound board so they only had one channel. Which means that they operated the whole show on one microphone. (Not only being super unprofessional) this was a problem because Mario G was supposed to be featuring another artist. When it is Mario G time to go and perform (which was at 1am) they didn't properly cue him and started playing his backing track before he was ready. Then, finally they allow him on stage and he starts rapping and 20 seconds into it a woman jumps on stage and physically PULLS him to the side. She STOPS the show and tells him he's not on "her list of performers". The crowd BOOS!!! They did not allow him to play his set. After we spent FOUR hours waiting there, hour drive to get there, $20 ticket to get in, over priced drinks, half shots, and shitty service and music production.
